Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I have had this and no healing is required. Hot baths with baking soda will form the fluidic blisters that are more itchy than painful. Strips of cloth can be used to soak up the fluid as it breaks through the blister. This will air dry into a hard golden crusty formation and leave it alone as best you can. Keep it clean with out disturbing the crust. This only needs time and gentle attention. Three weeks is typically all that is needed with this treatment. For itch control I have used baking soda mixed into calmaline lotion or just the straight Calmaline lotion allowed to dry in a puddle over an effected area. Use it this way between toes and in the areas that are used for the bending of the joints etc. IE elbow back of knees etc. inner thighs etc. - my take on it - b;lessings - chrism , " Katherine " <katsam19 wrote: > > Hello to all of you!
